found it

someplace in the middle of all the boxes and used packing tape and disorganized chaos, i found my computer and it's now connected to the internet. there's great rejoicing here because for several weeks, we haven't had our own internet (just borrowed from hotels and grand parents and Great Harvest Bread Company of Butte). and weeks before that, the internet we had was less than stellar.

of course, my son, daughter, and i are internet binging for a couple of days to make up for our lack of web time, but after that, things will calm down a little and we'll get out more, meet new friends here in Butte, find things to do.

and then one of these days, i'll get back to blogging on a semi-regular basis, either here or at my Cowgirl blog, or both. thanks for all the words of well-wishing.
